****

FIRST, PLEASE DO A SEARCH BY SELLER NAME OR ITEM NUMBER TO SEE IF YOUR QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.
This is not a thread to ask general questions about CL, please refer to our main CL forum for information about sizing, seasons, etc.


IF THE AUCTION/SHOES HAVE NOT YET BEEN AUTHENTICATED, POST HERE.

This is a free service, so it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format. PLEASE LEAVE A SPACE AFTER THE COLONS.

PLEASE LIMIT YOUR REQUESTS TO THREE (3) PER POST.



FOR AUCTION SITES:

Item: xxxx
Listing number: xxxx

NOT ON AN AUCTION SITE, please use the following:

Item Name (if you know it):

This format to prevent duplication requests and to make it simpler for people to 'search' for items which may have been posted previously. If you feel that your post has been skipped, you may repost but please copy and paste the ORIGINAL LINK, do not just copy and paste the link from your post.

Please post ALL of the following photos to insure ACCURATE authentication:

BACK
FRONT
LABEL/LOGO inside the shoe
SOLE 1: a clear close-up shot of the logo/size stamp, preferably no flash
(a macro lens is best for this shot &; it's the flower icon on your camera)

CL LOGO ON THE INSOLE
& MADE IN& STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE
CL STAMP ON THE OUTSOLE


AUTHENTICATORS: Please utilize the "QUOTE" feature when responding directly to another post. Please do not publicly post details about why you think an item is or is not authentic, sellers of fakes have been known to lurk here and we would not want to help them.

Hi everyone,

Item: Christian Louboutin un bout black Python 100mm pvc 39
Seller: local reseller
Comments: I just bought these un bout black Python 100mm pvc from a local reseller and I would like to make sure that they are authentic. They did not come with box or extra heels tips, only the dustbag has been provided.
Can you please help me? I really hope they are authentic because I already paid the seller, they look authentic to me but still, the python "flakes" seem too regular to me and I am not really familiar with python leather.

Thanks a lot for your kind help and please let me know if you need more pictures!

These are Authentic. These are made of real python snake skin not python embossed leather. If the scales are not kept clean and cared for m, they will dry up and flake off.
Look into the CL blog for python or exotic skin care posts. There is some good heel caste products out there. Good luck.

Hi all,

I would really appreciate help authenticating this pair I purchased over a year ago. Holt Renfrew was sold out of this pair in my size the year these were released and I ended up finding a private seller - I paid almost full retail price for these.

Item name: Bootylili 120 Calf Leather
Listing number: N/A
Seller: N/A
Link: N/A

Thank you so much in advance!


Authentic, hope you get to wear them soon!

Crystal

can someone please confirm these are authentic? https://www.therealreal.com/product...ristian-louboutin-new-simple-leather-pumps-12

The thing I'm confused about is the new simples I have seen on the official Louboutin site do not have that extra line of stitching on each shoe on the inner side.

Authentic New Simples. Trusted Seller/Site.
The Real Real has a good return policy and inspects items before listing them online. There is actually a video of how their associates authentic CL's. It's link is located on the item listing page.

View attachment 3719825 View attachment 3719826 View attachment 3719827 Please could someone authenticate these?? Believe they were bought from 'Savannahs' in Sweden in 2014.

Please see rules on page 1.

Authentic wedges. Savannahs is a reputable boutique. I don't understand what you mean by these were bought from Savannahs in 2014. Are these a private local sale? There is no link or seller item number or link to eBay listing. In the future please follow the directions it makes it easier and helps confirm 100% authentication of item posted. Thank you.

Oh thank you very much Crystal! I will check on how to take care of these little beauties. They are my first python pairs and the last thing I want is the flakes to be removed!

Thanks again!

These are authentic. The heel taps may have been lost or placed on the heels for resale. You can buy them cheap on eBay or there still may be a blog that swaps boxes and possibly heel taps. I have tons floating around my closet.
The missing heel tap should not be of concern at all, is not relevant to the authenticity of the Hyper Prive.
Crystal.

Thank you very much
 
Hi all, just purchased these.

Item:

Pre-Owned Christian Louboutin Stilettos (WOW!)

Listing number:
162534718011


Seller:coolthings17
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-Owned-C...718011?hash=item25d7d2fa3b:g:6dMAAOSw42JZLabc

Comments: At first glance, I thought they were the classic Pigalle 120. But upon arrival, they look more like so kates, but the heel is thicker. And the thing that throws me off the most is that there is a Vero Cuoio, old stamp on them. They appear to be authentic, but maybe a style I'm not familiar with? They're higher than Follies would be. I'm stumped here. TIA ladies!
 
Hi! I have been looking for red Simple Pumps for a long time and found a pair I like from VC. Somehing about the side view made me hesitant - these do not look like Sinple Pumps from the side.

Can you help me identify if they are real and if yes, what might me the model - is it really simple pump?

TIA!

Hi everyone,

Item: Christian Louboutin Pigalle Plato 120mm nude 38
Seller: local reseller
Comments: I just bought these Pigalle Plato nude 120mm from a local reseller and I would like to make sure that they are authentic.
Can you please help me? I really hope they are authentic because I already paid the seller, they look authentic to me but when I compare them to my black Pigalle plato 120 mm 38.5 , I notice that the nude ones have a stitching on the inside of both shoes, on the sides, which my black pigalle plato doesn't have? Plus, the outside sole Louboutin logo seems weird, but maybe i'm not really familiar?

Thanks a lot for your kind help and please let me know if you need more pictures!
